FAA Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Integration Pilot Program (eIPP)

planned

The FAA's Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Integration Pilot Program (eIPP) is a trial program launched by the Trump administration to accelerate the use of electric air taxis (eVTOLs) in U.S. airspace. The program aims to create new frameworks and regulations for safe operations and foster partnerships between manufacturers, authorities, and local governments. It includes piloted and unmanned operations, cargo delivery, emergency response, and medical transport. The program will select at least 5 pilot projects and run for 3 years after the first project starts.
